Make sure you are working with a reputable and experienced provider.

Hello, and sorry to hear of your frustrating experience.

Lip fillers that contain hyaluronic acid may help to give you longer-lasting results over time by stimulating collagen production. However, scar tissue will not create a semi-permanent …

The best choice for you will depend on your goals.
Jul 26, 2018

Hello, and thank you for your question. Without photos or an in-person evaluation, it’s impossible to say which treatment option might make the most sense for your needs. That said, the firs thing you need to decide on is what your goals are. If you are primarily concerned with lines around your mouth, fillers might be your best bet. However, the InstaLift™ can be a good choice if you’re also bothered by skin laxity in other areas of your face. I would recommend sitting down with an …
